                  FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Marian College’s Tim Adams scored the final 
                  five points of the game, breaking a 65-65 tie in the final 60 
                  seconds, to lead the Knights to a 70-65 defeat of USF at 
                  Hutzell Athletic Center Tuesday night. MC (12-8, 6-6 MCC) 
                  forced the Cougars (12-14, 5-7 MCC) into a 31.5% shooting 
                  effort and the 65 points were the second fewest scored by a 
                  USF team in the 2004-05 conference season. </span></p>

                  its dismal numbers from the field, USF overcame a six-point 
                  halftime deficit and led by two with three minutes remaining 
                  in the game. The Cougars scored the first nine points after 
                  intermission to turn the 33-27 Marian advantage into a 36-33 
                  lead. A three-pointer by Nick Ankenbruck opened the period 
                  followed by three-straight Trey Eaton buckets in the lane.

                  at the 14:04 mark and a second Adams three at 9:07 gave the 
                  Knights a six-point cushion – 53-47 -- their largest of the 
                  half. Two more lead changes and three ties preceded Adams’ 
                  decisive burst in the final minute, pushing Marian to the 
                  season sweep of USF.&nbsp; </span></p>

                  finished with 16 points and Ankenbruck 12 as the only two 
                  Cougars to reach double-figures in scoring. USF’s leading 
                  scorer Chase Holden struggled from the field (2-13) and netted 
                  six points in 22 minutes of action. Dusty Beucler had a solid 
                  night off the bench with nine points and seven boards in 17 
                  minutes and Eric Eaton provided eight points to the USF cause.

                  rebounds) with 17 points of his own, providing Marian with 
                  just enough firepower for the road victory. Forward Derek 
                  Huffman dropped in 14 points as the third Knight in 
                  double-figures. All five Marian starters played 27 minutes or 
                  more, four of them logging at least 35 minutes of court time.
